The control unit 10 of the user terminal 100 performs the same steps S311 to S317 as S211 to S217 of FIG. Therefore, the above S311 to S317 are not described.

If the AP information is detected in S317, the content execution unit 14 of the control unit 10 checks whether the previously downloaded content exists in the storage unit 20 with respect to the detected AP information (S319).

If there is a previously downloaded content in the inspection result storage unit 20, the content execution unit 14 determines whether the content is other than an app or an app (S320).

If the content is an app, the content execution unit 14 stores the AP information and the execution details of the content in the storage unit 20 (S335) after executing the corresponding app (S333), and if the content is not an app, After step S329, the execution history of the application is stored in the storage unit 20 (S335).

On the other hand, if the previous contents information on the detected AP information is not stored in the storage unit 20, the content inquiry unit 13 of the control unit 10 transmits a content inquiry request signal including the AP information to the wireless LAN information management unit 400 (S321), downloads the content, and stores the downloaded content in the storage unit 20 (S323, S325).

After completing the download, the content execution unit 14 determines whether the downloaded content is an app or other content (S327).

If the determination result is that the app is an app, the content execution unit 14 executes the app after installing the app (S331) (S333).

On the other hand, if it is not an app, the content execution unit 14 executes the corresponding content (S329).

When the content is executed, the content execution unit 14 stores the AP information and the content and the details of the content execution in the storage unit 20 (S335).

8 is a flowchart illustrating a method for automatically providing an entry area content according to a third operation example of the user terminal according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The content type is identified by content information obtained from the wireless LAN information management section 400 Respectively.

Referring to FIG. 8, the control unit 10 of the user terminal 100 performs steps S411 to S419 which are the same as S211 to S219 of FIG. Therefore, the above S411 to S419 are not described.

When the AP information is inquired in S419 and the content information about the AP information is received from the wireless LAN information management unit 400, the controller 10 analyzes the content information to determine whether the content is an app or other than an app S421).

If the content is not an app, the control unit 10 accesses the content providing unit 500 corresponding to the content information, downloads the content (S423), and executes the content (S425).

On the other hand, if the content is an app, the control unit 10 determines whether the app of the content information is previously installed (426).

If it is determined that the application is not installed, the control unit 10 accesses the content providing unit 500 corresponding to the content information, downloads the corresponding application (S427), and installs it (S429).

Although only the second embodiment has been described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8, in the case of the first embodiment, only the inquiry process is performed, and only the content providing area information list received from the wireless LAN information management unit 400 and stored The same can be applied.

9 is a flowchart illustrating a power management method using a GPS module and a gyro sensor in a user terminal according to the present invention.

9, the power management unit 18 of the control unit 10 checks the state of the GPS module 60 to determine whether the GPS module 60 is activated or deactivated (S511).

If the GPS module 60 is inactivated, the movement determining unit 14 determines whether the user is moving (S513). Then, the movement determining unit 14 determines whether the user is moving based on the sensor value measured through the sensor unit 70, and returns the result to the power management unit 18.

Then, the power management unit 18 determines whether the user is in the stop state by analyzing the returned user determination result (S515).

If the user is moving, the power management unit 18 activates the wireless communication unit 50 if the wireless communication unit 50 is in an inactive state, and maintains the state when the wireless communication unit 50 is in an active state (S521).

On the other hand, if the wireless communication unit 50 is in an active state, the power management unit 18 deactivates the power management unit 18, and if not, the power management unit 18 maintains the state (S519).

If it is determined that the GPS module 60 is activated, the power management unit 18 determines whether the current position is indoor or outdoor according to the reception of the GPS signal and the strength of the GPS signal (S517). 9, when the GPS module 60 is used, it is determined whether or not to set the power saving mode according to indoor and outdoor conditions. However, the GPS module 60 may be configured to set the power saving mode There will be.
